free spirit
prolific despite the norm
poetry enveloped lying leaves
words swirling from the page

light lilts autumn leaves
poetry and prose
artistic eye paints the world
Enjoy what you're reading?

by artists who saw what we do
simplicities. r a i n d r o p s
try to catch melting melodies
watch them fall celestial silence.
